Watch haters have been particularly quite as of late. I guess Brlawyer must be at the corner diner stuffing his face with a really large slice of humble pie with his boy-toy BF. Surely he was a legend in his own mind.

"Under fire"?? Yeah.. from the media
What the developer is doing (if they even are) is what we call "whining". Irrelevant whether it's enforced 100% or sporadically (for multitude of reasons). Don't flout a competitor's product. Period.
I break speed limits every day on the highway. Should I now complain that I'm "under fire" by the CHP because of their inconsistent enforcement of speed laws?

I hope someone reads the fine print with an electron microscope. I wouldn't trust Google on any level to handle my communication needs. Who knows what they will be mining/monitoring from my activity to use me as their product. No effing way.

You never really "own" your house. There's a little thing called "property taxes" that you still have to pay. My house is paid in full, yet I still get that bill. Property taxes (especially where I live in SF) is practically a never-ending mortgage payment for many.So rent or own? You're still paying to someone.
